Kat med fugl 1765 - 1833

"Kat med fugl" (Cat with bird), a graphite drawing by Danish artist Gerhard Ludvig Lahde, is a simple yet captivating study in animal interaction. Created between 1765 and 1833, the sketch depicts a cat holding a bird in its mouth, possibly during a hunt. Lahde, known for his depictions of animals and landscapes, captures the scene with delicate lines and subtle shading. The drawing is housed at the SMK – Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen, and serves as a glimpse into the artist's observational skills and his interest in the natural world.
